Chapter 596: All Future Generations Will Produce College Graduates
Guo Jinnian’s eyes bulged, wishing he could swallow Madame Guo whole. "What’s there to talk about, and why should I talk to him? If you think that he’s so good, then marry off your own daughter. I’ll give double the dowry. If you are reluctant to give away your own daughter, then don’t mess with others."
Madame Guo didn’t expect Guo Jinnian to be so sharp-tongued. It infuriated her, but instead of losing her temper, she patiently coaxed Guo Jinnian.
"Jinnian, oh, I mean well proposing this marriage for you. Even if you don’t like him, there’s no need to be so harsh, is there? Where is Chen not good enough for you? He’s helping the town build a dam now. He earns one yuan a day. Who in our village can make that much? For you, he even took a leave today. Tell me, which man ever treated you so well? All his efforts show his heartfelt feelings for you. Where can you find such a good man?"
Madame Guo sung praises of Chen, as if it was a crime for Guo Jinnian not to marry him. It was so ridiculous, Tong Yao could not help but laugh and cry.
She spoke up, "Madame Guo, have you forgotten why my brother and I came here this time?"
Madame Guo, hearing Tong Yao chimed in, immediately put on a welcoming smile. As she stepped forward to hold onto Tong Yao, Guo Jinnian padded his way in front, saying, "Speak if you want to speak, stay away from Yaoyao."
If her arm hadn’t been injured, and if Tong Yao weren’t pregnant, Guo Jinnian would have already dealt with Madame Guo. She had never seen such a nauseating matchmaker before.
Without arguing with Guo Jinnian, Madame Guo turned aside to look at Tong Yao hiding behind him. She presented a flatteringly smile and said, "Miss Yao, I know you came to propose marriage for your little brother. But you know what, fate is a funny thing. I’ve consulted a fortune teller who told me Jinnian has a tough life and would bring ill fortune to her husband. Her only chance is to marry a divorcee. No one else can contain her cursed fate. Xiaotao, my girl, on the other hand, she’ll bring prosperity to her husband. Whoever gets to marry her will strike gold right in the family’s ancestral grave and all future generations will produce college graduates."
